Scenario: I wrote a script web application and I'd want to sell it. Obviously I can't compile it to an EXE so how to protect my script source code?

Any ideas?

Use Harbour and FiveWeb and deliver a CGI executable :-)

Unfortunately, CGI is an old and no more supported technology. I liked it very much but customers of these days don't accept CGI EXE web applications.

Both BlueHost and DreamHost support CGI with no problem

Don't know about others

I'm thinking about customer's web servers. Sorry, but CGI EXE is not an option for me. I'd like it were... :-(

Enrico,

Which language did you use to create this web application?

I used ASP/VBScript so far. In the future, I don't know.

Hello Enrico,
I will remeber a product called VBScript Obfuscator.
But it was 2004 when I last made a programs in asp.
Best regards,
Otto
